"Consequently, I do not say that things in themselves possess a quantity,, that their reality possesses a degree, their existence a connection of accidents in a substance, etc. This nobody can prove because such a synthetic connection from mere concepts, without any reference to sensuous intuition on the one side or connection of such intuition in a possible experience on the other, is absolutely impossible." Immanuel Kant pg 47
I believe what Kant is trying to say is that one cannot have any ideas that possess quality if they do not have some sort of intuition behind them. If there is no intuition where did they come from?
